FOREST, Va. --- While some of the ODAC's best spring athletes are still in action in their respective NCAA postseason events, all play in conference action has concluded, allowing us to finalize the 2025-26 ODAC Commissioner's Cup standings. Washington and Lee University claimed each award -- the Dan Wooldridge Overall Champions Cup, ODAC Men's Commissioner's Cup, ODAC Women's Commissioner's Cup -- marking the 18th time in league history that the Generals have corralled all three prizes.
Washington and Lee increased its record win totals for each cup with the Generals' 30th overall and 24th straight Dan Wooldridge Cup, 26th overall and 23 consecutive women's cups, and 24th overall men's prize.
The University of Lynchburg and Randolph-Macon College finished second and third, respectively, in all three points standings. In the Dan Wooldridge Cup table, Shenandoah University placed fourth with Roanoke College chiming in fifth. SU was fourth in the women's cup tally with Bridgewater College finishing fifth. The Maroons were fourth in the men's race, while Hampden-Sydney College turned in a fifth-place showing.
Virginia Farm Bureau Insurance is the proud sponsor for the Dan Wooldridge Overall Champions Cup and the ODAC Men and Women's Commissioner's Cups. Virginia Farm Bureau and the ODAC continue their partnership in focusing on the strength of the conference's student-athletes and maintaining the NCAA Division III philosophy of the complete student-athlete experience. Aside from supporting the ODAC Commissioners' Cups, Virginia Farm Bureau is the sponsor of the ODAC's sport-by-sport scholar-athlete awards.
As determined by the ODAC Board of Directors, points for the ODAC Commissioner's Cups are based on regular-season standings in team sports and championship team finishes in individual/meet-based sports. Each institution has a total number of possible points it can collect based on its sport sponsorship. The total number of points earned is then divided by the total number of possible points to determine the rating for each institution.
In the Wooldridge Cup standings, WLU earned 231.0 of a possible 254.0 points for a 0.909 rating. That mark is the third-best in ODAC history behind the Generals' 0.927 rating in 2021-22 and 0.913 in 2019-20. Lynchburg finished second with a 0.810 (209.0-of-258.0) rating, while Randolph-Macon posted a third-best mark of 0.736 (142.0-of-193.0).
Washington and Lee came up 0.003 rating points shy of matching its ODAC-record mark from a season ago on the women's cup chart. The Generals earned 122.5 of a possible 129.0 points for a 0.950 rating this season. Lynchburg registered a 0.782 (109.5-of-140.0) mark, while RMC was close behind at 0.758 (75.0-of-99.0).
